First nodejs app, it is saying to update your less-middleware usage

Question

I installed nodejs using homebrew just now.

I then created a folder, and installed express:

npm install -g express

I then created a new project using:

express -H --css less --sessions foo

Now when I try and run the app:

node app.js

I get this:

/Users/blah/dev/testing/nodetest1/foo/node_modules/less-middleware/lib/middleware.js:50
    throw new Error('Please update your less-middleware usage: http://goo.gl/Y
          ^
Error: Please update your less-middleware usage: http://goo.gl/YnK8p0
    at module.exports.less.middleware (/Users/blah/dev/testing/nodetest1/foo/node_modules/less-middleware/lib/middleware.js:50:11)

    at startup (node.js:119:16)
    at node.js:902:3

My app.js looks like:

/**
 * Module dependencies.
 */

var express = require('express');
var routes = require('./routes');
var user = require('./routes/user');
var http = require('http');
var path = require('path');

var app = express();

// all environments
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'hjs');
app.use(express.favicon());
app.use(express.logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded());
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(express.cookieParser('your secret here'));
app.use(express.session());
app.use(app.router);
app.use(require('less-middleware')({ src: path.join(__dirname, 'public') }));
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

// development only
if ('development' == app.get('env')) {
  app.use(express.errorHandler());
}

app.get('/', routes.index);
app.get('/users', user.list);

http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){
  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});

I changed the line that was:

app.use(require('less-middleware')({ src: path.join(__dirname, 'public') }));

to:

app.use(require('less-middleware')(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

and it works now. Strange how this was a brand new app with a fresh install of nodejs and express.
